Driver Hire, a leading specialist transport & logistics recruitment franchise, has just achieved its highest ever single-week turnover in over 40 years of trading.

In total, network turnover in the UK is more than 7% up year-to-date. This milestone comes after Driver Hire celebrated an all-time record trading year in 2025/26.

Meanwhile, Driver Hire’s business in Australia is also enjoying outstanding trading, with turnover in the same single week almost 43% up on the same time last year.

Back in the UK, another landmark was reached, with the Aberdeen branch recording the best ever weekly turnover for a single Driver Hire office. A further six offices across the UK set new records for their own area.

Commenting on Driver Hire’s ongoing business success story, Chief Executive, Chris Chidley commented, “We’ve had a fantastic start to the year. It’s a further endorsement of a brand built over more than 42 years and of a franchise model that has combined strong local ownership with national scale and support. And, of course, this achievement doesn’t come without an awful lot of hard work by our franchisees and staff both here and in Australia.”

Founded in 1983, Driver Hire is the UK’s largest provider of temporary drivers and has developed one of the country’s best-established recruitment franchise networks. Its standing has been recognised repeatedly through awards from the British Franchise Association (BFA) and Elite Franchise, the business building a strong reputation in both franchising and specialist recruitment.
